I just wish my stores didn't take so long for fall resets. Of course I do understand they are a bit understaffed because of economic issues and for the same hours you can get paid almost twice as much by working the oil field but might have better timing on the hours.

I think it's a store to store thing. Some stores are poorly organized. A few months ago, I hit a far away Walmart for Thundercats stuff. You should have seen that toy aisle. LOL. Everything was just lying in a huge pile.

I actually dug a Tygus out, it was buried under power rangers toys.

That was how the one where I found 3 Storm Chargers was. It was just a pile like it was going into the garbage instead of on the shelf, mixed with Power Rangers and Avengers toys

The shellraiser, it doesn't have a driver's seat does it?? I just watched PD's review and he didn't mention it, it isn't a big deal overall (and I'm not getting any vehicles for me) but it seems a misstep in design.

No its not really much of a van as it is a rolling death box

I caved with the toys r us coupon and went for Raph and Shredder from the new figures, not crazy about the show previews, but MY GOD, these are some of the BEST constructed toys ever. Great paint (though some of the shredders looked like he was dropped in a garbage truck.... oh wait....), and lots of play value!! Small enough to store = a good buy.

After a negitive experiance with the classics, the new stuff is a hit with me. As a matter of a fact, Mattel has ****** me off to no end lately, so Im taking my Lazer Lot money and buying Don and Mike with it!!!! I wont be getting everyone, especially Splinter and April, but this is where my moneys going.

If the classics get fixed up a bit more (loose joints, bad paint IMO) I will consider a second try. Its really a shame Playmates didnt get Thundercats.... All that could have been.

PS - Anyone buy that inflatable TMNT chair yet? Dying to know how big it is blown up .........

Yeah the 4" line is just awesome to play with and hold, it definitely made me feel like a kid again. The kicker is they work with almost all the past playsets and stuff so if you are a diehard TMNT fan get out your old toys and let them play in there

Me too! Looking back on it I think I had gone thru my little kid phase when it came to toys. I still bought Transformers and G.I.Joe, kinda stopped with MOTU, Star Wars was gone and you had Turtles with squishy heads. I remember popping the head off of my Raphael and needed my mom to get it back on. Those toys took a beating.

I'm buying the playset for sure! Wal-mart by my house finally came out with all the figures so I'm gonna pick up the 4 turtles, Shredder, and an extra foot soldier for my boy. Not a fan of that Krang, Splinter, or April but the vintage ones look great with these guys so it's all good.

yeah. I am considering the playset because playsets need to make a comeback! so I want to support them, esp when done right.

The Playset is straight up bad ass, the pics and videos are awesome enough but to walk into a toy store and see this mammoth playset box in 2012 is just something else.

Playsets are a dead thing in toy retail, Playmates is taking a major risk with this one and I hope for them it succeeds because I think toy makers are cheating fans by not releasing them like they used to

I was born in 83, so I got onto Turtles when they were just getting some steam. My first item was the FLUSH-O-MATIC. Since we could never find the figures, we cut the carboard pictures out and used them...... pathetically sad no? Needless to say cleaning slime off cardboard was a terrible moment.

First 2 figures were splinter and rat king...... never found a Leo until like 1992. Cardboard Leo 4 eva!!

I have most of the 200x series, and while cool, they didnt have that crazy gritty feel to them. Everything was clean lines, these are gritty and fun in hand!! Lots of cool vibes. If they come out with OOZE so help me god..........

I went to TRU today and everyone was available accept for Shredder. Classics wise there were only three Donnie's and two Raphs. Two of the Donnie's had wonky eyes where as the one that had the straight eyes had a terrible paint job.

And just to be clear, the Classic's line is only available at TRU, right? My Target's have nothing Classic, not even an empty sticker section for them.

First, this line absolutely ROCKS. I love the new turtles. Great colors, great details, great posability; great toys period.

Second, I WILL get that Playset. I have no idea where I'll put it, but it's out of principle for never being allowed to ever get a single playset from anything growing up. I used styrofoam box packing as bases.

Third, has there been any word on any upcoming figures? It seems they're doing a bit more a throwback to the original line with Krang (Kraang), and I have sorely missed the mutant characters from that toyline. Baxter Stockman, Scumbug, Muckman, Leatherhead (who's always been around, but his look had so much more character back then). I would love to see more guys like that.

WOW, Michelangelo really impressed me! He's never been a favorite, but this one is awesome even with the kinda disappointing array of extra stuff. At the very least, his kusarigama is improved a little with a chain. Reviewed 'em here!

It's why I said my stores, I know some their resets are done over night. We are actually big enough for a Target I hear but I have heard they won't come because we aren't the right kind of clientele. Most of the town's income is based on oil directly and if not indirectly, and they have written up in the paper and other places how it's hard for retail and service jobs to keep employees because of the difference in income the two make with the oil field even subcontract labor makes more. Then the other problem is best summed up in most locations in my town if they do a store wide drug test they will have fire ~50% of the employees on the spot. This actually happened to our Walmart about four years ago, they lost so many employees that for almost an entire year our Supercenter went to being open only 12 hours a day. They also lost more employees during the time because of over work.
